Dear Archocosky and Premo family,
Our hearts are heavy as we reflect on the remarkable life of Dorothy (Dorie) Premo, an extraordinary woman who brought so much love and joy to all who knew her. Dorie’s vibrant spirit shone brightly throughout her 100 years—her compassion and kindness were gifts that she shared generously with family and friends. It was so wonderful to personally meet her and all of you in 2021. She was such a sweet lady.
As you remember her, think of the countless cherished moments you all experienced: the laughter around the card table, the warmth of family gatherings, and her adventurous spirit that led her to explore the world, from Chicago to Japan. These memories will forever be a part of your lives, as they embody the love she poured into everything she did, especially for her beloved family.
Dorie's legacy lives on through her children, Chris, Mark, and Michael, and her eight grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren, whose lives are enriched with her love and lessons. It is clear that her incredible strength and unwavering support have shaped not just her immediate family, but the generations that follow.
Though we mourn her loss and the recent passing of her beloved granddaughter Sarah, let us also celebrate the beautiful life Dorie led. Let us hold onto the joy she brought into our lives and remember the remarkable woman who taught us the value of connection and family.
As you navigate this difficult time, please know that you are surrounded by love and support. We are here for you, honoring Dorie's memory and celebrating the incredible life she lived. Be assured of our prayers and thoughts as you all grieve your loss.
With deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy,
Don and Cheryl Cowan
